In April and May, I priced my articles at $19 each and sold about one article every 2 days. In June, I sold nothing in the first 7 days. I wondered if my prices were too high and lowered them to $14.

After 10 rejected articles, I decided to completely rewrite an article in a sparse style with no unnecessary stuff to see how that would go over. It didn't ...

I received the rejection message below for an article I submitted. They say that the Word document I attached was empty. It appears the file I submitted became corrupted somehow. Would they reject an article outright over a corrupted file? The article was called "Work-From-Home Ideas that are F...
